They dared to love and won. Now their love—and their lives—are on the line against the mob. Ciara Simmons is the unofficial first lady of NYC, thanks to her relationship with the city’s newly-elected mayor Luka Belmont. However, it's a big change for a woman who planned to be a hard-hitting journalist. She loves Luka, but feels lost without her career. Luka has traded his bad-boy ways for the serious responsibilities of a true leader. He means to protect his city, his family, and his woman… even if it means risking his life with the Sicilian mafia. But Don Vittorio Lombardo doesn’t like the word no, especially when it comes from a man who owes him. His brutal tactics put everything—and everyone—Luka cares about at risk. Luka will do whatever it takes to keep Ciara safe... even break her heart. Now he must fight, alone, to take Lombardo down. But even if he succeeds, will the woman he loves forgive him?
